I don't care of homo-ism is officially illegal ... but I do think aberrant, unhealthy behavior should be discouraged.

I don't think homos should be thrown off buildings just for being homos ... but I don't think they should be encouraged by painting the house formerly known as the "white house" ... and turning it into the "rainbow shack" ... and other similar encouragements.

I prefer the previous "don't ask, don't tell" idea.

==And it wasn't so long ago when homo-ism was illegal in the gangland formerly known as ooosah ... in the army I was in, there were two questions they asked you when you were getting your induction physical that were immediate rule outs:

01 - Do you smoke pot ? (this one is still a federali felony)02 - Are you a homo ?

Any answer other than a negative answer and you were out the door immediately.

When, I went on the first date with my wife ... the first (personal) question she asked me was "Are you a homo?"

So, I don't think the mores of society really change that quickly ... I suspect I'm not the only person who doesn't welcome the coming of the rainbow shack and other similar shifts.

On September 12, 2018 in Windsor, Ontario, three teens attacked high-school student Jayden Trudell, punching the 14-year-old from behind, throwing him to the ground head first, and continuing the beating when he was down and unconscious. In what his mother described as a “barbaric” attack, Trudell sustained a skull fracture, a brain bleed and a broken bone.

The teen survived and in August of 2019, less than one year later, Ontario Court Justice Micheline Rawlins sentenced one attacker to five months, another to three months, and the third was discharged with conditions. The case bears stark contrast to another Windsor attack that did claim the victim’s life. This suspect has been in custody nearly two years but the murder case has yet to reach trial.

On Sunday October 8, 2017, Anne Widholm took a morning stroll on Windsor’s Ganatchio Trail. The 75-year-old grandmother and Sunday school teacher was picking up litter when, as police charge, Habibullah Ahmadi, 21, attacked the woman and left her unconscious and near death.

“In my 12 years in Windsor, this is the most severe beating I’ve seen,” neurosurgeon Dr. Balraj Jhawar told the Windsor Star. Dr. Jhawar detailed multiple brain hemorrhages, fractured vertebrae and “the worst skull fractures” he had seen in more than a decade. “This is among the most brutal things I’ve seen in my career,” Dr. Jhawar explained. “Her eyes were so bruised, they were swollen shut.”

Police said the attack appeared to be “random,” but Dr. Jhawar found that judgment “totally unacceptable.” The attack was not just another assault but “maybe representing a new, dark side of Windsor that we can’t let propagate.”

Habibullah Ahmadi, 21, made no statement and any information about his motive failed to emerge. In a departure from standard practice with violent criminals, police did not release the suspect’s booking photo.

Ahmadi was described as a “Windsor man” who also calls himself “Daniel” but locals did not learn how long he had lived in Windsor and what family members, if any, had to say about him. Not a single news story detailed where Habibullah Ahmadi went to school or where he worked. No fellow students or work colleagues went on record about the accused.

Widholm remained in critical condition and Habibullah Ahmadi made a court appearance on October 23, 2017, more than two weeks after the attack. The initial charge of aggravated assault had been changed to attempted murder. Attorney Patricia Brown represented Ahmad and Justice of the Peace Salma Jafar denied bail.

In late July of 2018, CTV news said AM800 News, CKLW, has learned that a date for Habibullah’s trial would be set sometime in January 2019, though no official court or police document was cited. The CTV piece came headlined, “Windsor man going to trial for alleged Ganatchio Trail attack” and cited “an alleged vicious attack of an elderly woman.”

Ann Widholm never emerged from the coma and passed away on December 15, 2018, at Windsor Regional Hospital. The charges against Habibullah Ahmadi, originally assault, then attempted murder, were now upgraded to second-degree murder. No trial took place in January of 2019 and no new information emerged about Habibullah Ahmadi.

Local and national feminists did not protest the murder as an example of violence against women or toxic masculinity. Likewise, if anybody thought the attack a hate crime, they did not speak up. Windsor mayor Drew Dilkens tweeted that Widholm “exemplified the can-do Windsor spirit and my most sincere condolences go out to her family for their loss.” It was as though the victim had died peacefully, and of natural causes.

Former Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynn, a crusader against bullying, never offered a statement on the case. Current Premier Doug Ford of the Progressive Conservative Party did not issue a comment. News reports turn up no proclamations on the attack from Lisa Gretzky, a New Democratic Party MPP for Windsor, or from the NDP provincial leader Andrea Horwath.

Last year, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau championed an 11-year-old Toronto girl who claimed a man twice cut her hijab, which turned out to be a hoax. Trudeau had nothing to say about the attack on Anne Widholm, which was not a hoax. Her most vocal advocate has been Dr. Jhawar, who described the victim as “a super good person.”

As the second anniversary of the attack approached, attorney Patricia Brown’s office told this writer they had no trial date and could not comment. Police and local reporters are likewise silent, but some realities are evident.

Jayden Trudell, 14, survived a vicious attack and in less than one year, relatives of Jayden Trudell saw due process, a trial, and punishment of the perpetrators. Anne Widholm, 75, suffered the worst attack Dr. Jhofar had ever seen but did not survive. This was murder but nearly one year after the victim’s death, and two years after the attack, Habibullah Ahmadi has not faced trial and nobody involved in the case will say a word about him.

The authorities in Windsor protect the public from the truth about murder suspects such as Habibullah Ahmadi. This secrecy and obstructionism overrides concern for victims of violent crime in general and murder victims such as Anne Widholm in particular. All told, the case suggests a two-track, separate-but-unequal judicial system is already the reality in Ontario.

I wonder if the perp has been locked up this whole time or was he freed while awaiting trial?

Israeli law students spending a semester in Warsaw beaten to the point of losing consciousness in apparent anti-Semitic attack.

Marcy Oster, JTA, 08/09/19 20:44Share

Israeli students spending a semester in Warsaw were attacked as they left a nightclub in the city.

Two of the students required hospitalization after the early Saturday morning attack.

The details of the attack were posted on Facebook by Barak Kashpizky, the twin brother of one of the injured Israelis.

Yotam Kashpizky, who lost consciousness during the attack, suffered a broken nose and a broken eye-socket, according to his brother.

The assailants, described as “Arabic speakers,” asked the group as they left a Warsaw nightclub if they were Israeli. When the students answered that they were, the assailants assaulted them, reportedly shouting “f**k Israel” and “Free Gaza.”

Yotam Kashpizky told Channel 13 on Sunday that the assailants were from Qatar. He said that security guards from the club and bystanders watched the attack but did not move to stop the attackers or help the Israeli students.

Barak Kashpizky also criticized Israel’s Foreign Ministry and the Israeli consul in Warsaw for leaving the students to file a police report on their own.

The Foreign Ministry disagreed with this account, telling Channel 13 news that the ministry had been monitoring developments since the initial report of the attack at 8 a.m. on Saturday. The ministry said that the consul in Warsaw offered his assistance and made himself available to the students.

The ministry said it is working to determine what further steps to take.

“History is repeating itself in Warsaw, Poland, as Poles stand by and watch, while people who ‘are not from our nation’ are beating Jews until they lose consciousnesses,” Barak Kashpizky wrote on Facebook, where he posted photos of his brother’s bloodied face. “Today it is my twin brother, tomorrow it is your relatives.”

So, the article said that the attackers were "“Arabic speakers”.

Now I realize that does not definitively mean that they were Muslim.

I suppose that there is a chance that they were Lebanese Christians....maybe?
